The quiz needs some clarifications. First, these are cities hit by the recession. Some cities, such as Fargo, Bismarck, Rochester (MN), Omaha, Sioux Falls were hardly impacted by the recession to begin with. Second, the cities only include large metropolitan areas.

Looks like Washington is the only East Coast city where business is booming.

Yeah, government business. I would have thought Bentonville, AR would be a nice steady place also.

Bentonville is part of the Arkansas metro area listed in the Best column.
